Veggies

Seems I'm losing a bit of steam now........slowing down or lacking the motivation.  Might just be a little stall but I'm trying to push through it.

Here is a page I wasn't real happy with and the sad part is I don't even know why.  Could be just a mood thing.

I chose water soluble pens so I could work a wash and then added a bit of watercolor.

Worked in the Generic Sketchbook.

My Sketching Frenzy

I seem to be in a sketching frenzy these days.  After sitting and thinking or questioning about this surge I'm experiencing, the answer is actually quite simple..........I'm trying to keep my mind occupied with something positive.

It's been four months now since Terry was laid off work.  Severance pay has ceased and his 26 weeks of Unemployment is soon to come to an end. 

At almost 60 years old, purchasing his first ever home just last year, and not so far off from retiring, he loses his job.  Everything right now seems so disheartening.........so discouraging.

I sit back and watch a normally optimistic, happy man  lose heart and experience emotional meltdowns as he tries to find work before losing everything. 

So why the sketching frenzy???   I'm leaning on my sketchbook journals to find some solace.  I'm normally the pessimistic worry wart but I'm trying to be positive to help him through this.
